Jafar Hassan is standing for the Green Party in the Kensal Green by-election which will be held in December 17th.

This is his message

The
Green Party came second to Labour in Kensal Green at the last council
election so it's vital that everyone in the area goes out to the polls
on 17 December to make their vote count. Brent Council needs change and I
believe I'm the right person to do that. Whether in Parliament, the GLA
or on London councils such as Islington, the Green Party has proved
that though few in number we can make a huge difference.

Brent
Council is dominated by weak Labour councillors, a divided Conservative
opposition, and a single ineffectual Liberal Democrat. The Green Party
can win in Kensal Green so I hope that the people here will vote for me
on 17 December. I will hold the Council to account and put forward
positive ideas to fix Brent’s lack of affordable housing, shortage of
school places, poor handling of regeneration projects and the
cluelessness when it comes to tackling fuel poverty and making homes
energy efficient.

The Green Party beat both Liberal Democrats and Tories to come second behind Labour in the May 2014 local elections.
